PM40 problems

[Faris13]

:sad: Just bought a brand new pm40 recently and have been having some issues. I've gone through about 100 rds so far and the slide fails to return to battery about every round. I have to manually push the slide forward a little.

This is pretty frustrating as I just spent a good amount of money on the gun. Any other pm40 owners have these issues resolved by Kahr??

Yeah me too, read my post further down about help with PM40. I called Kahr, their customer support is top notch. The guy asked what I had, said he would overnight a new barrel that was polished, guide rod spring, guide rod and 2 new magazines of my choice, either 2 long, 2 short, one of each etc. He did overnight it, I put it in Lubed the heck out of my gun and none of those problems reappeared. I did have a problem with the slide locking back after the 1st shot, I am shooting it again tommorow so I will know more then. Call Kahr they will take care of you.

Yea read your post earlier....it eases my mind that their customer support is top notch. Looking forward to hear from your next range visit, hopefully that fixes the problems.

The failure to return to battery is the one PM problem that actually will go away after break-in.
